October 15th 1964, Today was my last day in Maycomb with Jem and Scout. We decided to check out old Boo Radleys house in see if we could look into it with better view in the old house. But we seen when were down peeping was unbelievable, it was a figure of a mans shadow, perhaps Boo Radley’s. We all got scared and tried to run off but then Scout fell which caused Jem to go back. All of a sudden a mysterious figure came out a yonder and shot off round or two of a gun. My heart skipped along as I tried to run off quicker, little did I know that Jem’s pants had been snatched along the gate. I ran back and tugged as hard as I could to get him a loose. We finally scattered Jem and Scout went back their way as I went back to my aunts. There was a crowd surrounding the Radley’s house a few moments after we reached our homes. We decided to walk up so we wouldn’t look suspicious. Nathan Radley was out and said he would shoot at the next sound he heard which frightened us. But as the crowd was beginning to simmer, neighbors said or keep Jem Finch out of the Radleys way. Jem was stuck and it was all happening so fast. I decided to make up a story that we were playing strip poker to excuse Jem having on shorts. The neighbors believed most of it but I was in trouble when we got home. That night was exciteful but all so scary. I wonder what will happen when I leave, what will Boo Radley do to Jem or even Scout. I cant wait to return back to Maycomb next summer it should be a round of excitement now knowing that next summer I might actually get to see Mr. Arthur Radley! Sincerely, Dill
